Fresno Rejects CalRedd MLS, Returns to Rapattoni

In a surprise move, the Fresno MLS has stopped using the new calRedd MLS system as of 9/1/09, after only 16 days. A majority of Realtor members were "challenged" and frustrated by the new format. We tried to work with the system for 16 days, and I must say calRedd support was making their best efforts to make fixes to the numerous bugs in the system. Myself, I was learning the calRedd system and felt confident I could get my work done, but there was still an endless number of deficiencies. At the rate we were going, it seemed like it would take a month longer to work out the bugs. Some agents felt they were going to be monetarily damaged because of the time involved beta testing, fixes and the learning curve of the calRedd system. The main issue that angered many agents, was the fact the system was released before it had been fully tested. They were leaving it up to the agents to identify problems, instead of beta testing it themselves. It was far from ready on their initial release. At this point, I have no idea what the future of calRedd MLS may be, but if we try this again, it better be a superior working model from the start.
